category :-)

As I have said before, either you seem to have a problem identifying
the truth or perhaps you just have an extremely short memory...

In article <8011@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU>, richmond@athena (thats you, Jonathon) writes:

I can't help but feeling that you have threatened to contact Brad's
employer, have you not?  If not, please quote *your* quote and rebut
it.

Aw shucks...

You see, now we are getting into defining "whats offensive" and whats not.
I happen to find your threats to contact people's employers extremely
offensive... more so than any racial statement than you could make about
me.  How about if someone managed to contact MIT and have your site
admin have a little "talk" with you and tell you to quit posting these
snivelling little threats?  What would be the difference in doing that
and what you're threatening to do?
